My First Podcast!! Jobs for singers(to do while going for their dream jobs).

Friday, August 6th, 2010

I am really excited today because I just completed my first podcast and here it is:  Please click and listen!  :)

click here: Jobs For Singers! -13 ideas of creative jobs for singers to do while trying to get their big gig.  The goal of this podcast is to help you get out of your day office job while keeping you singing and paying rent!  I did most of them by the way and am proud of it :)

My biggest point in doing this podcast is to show you that you can, as a singer be working, as a singer on some level all the time.  I myself have NEVER had an office day job, so I am proud that you can be paid to sing.

This is going to be the first of my Podcast series so I would love to hear some feedback from my subscribers.  Any ideas you’re looking to hear me cover would be great to know as well!

(Can you tell that I am a little excited?  I actually figured out how to do this- it was soo technical for me…geez. :) )

Happy Singing!

Turn up the microphone please

This is for singers in bands on stage:  Please make sure to stand up to the sound man and turn yourselves up and if you have a monitor turn it on as well.  As audience members we want to hear the singer well over the music.  Also, someone worked really hard to write the lyrics, we would like a chance to understand them.

So often your sound guy is someone you don’t know at a club who turns up everyone in the band evenly.  I think it is so important to make sure that the voice stands out enough to be distinguished from the rest.  Plus, it will save you vocally to be heard well since you won’t be straining for volume over your band.

Grab someone with ears you trust to stand out in the club to hear your sound check.  You can also have that person there for the performance.  Just tell the sound person ahead of time that your friend has your permission to ask the sound guy to make adjustments.

Save that voice band members!  The more success you experience the more often you will be singing out.  So learn how to stretch your voice that extra mile.  (and of course don’t forget to warm-up).
